4.0 out of 5 stars
From the author of "The Howling," a rare, hard-to-find horror novel that shouldn't be either of those., Jan 7 2006
By David "Laymon Fan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Boiling Pool -Lib -Op/036 (Library Binding)
"The Boiling Pool" is a good horror novel about a gated community that lures a new family in -- one every three years -- so that the long-time residents can sacrifice one of the children.
At the center of the housing development is a narrow pool. The pool is very deep, and something lives at the bottom.
That *thing* ensures that the residents stay wealthy and successful ...as long as it receives its periodic sacrifice.
I've read quite a few of Gary Brandner's novels, and every one of them was solid.
It's a shame he doesn't publish anymore.
There was a six year gap between his last new paperback and "The Boiling Pool", then a four year wait for his limited-edition hardcover "Rot." He hasn't had a new book since.
(He did reissue his novels "Carrion" and "Floater" as trade paperbacks in the year 2000, though.)
I heard that the premises for "The Resort" by Bentley Little and "Sacrifice" by John Farris may be similar, but I can't comment on that because I haven't read either book yet.
Also recommended: "Salvation" by W.A. Heisler, "Nightflyer" and "The Lyssa Syndrome" by Christopher Fahy, "Island" and Midnight's Lair" by Richard Laymon, and "Wither" by John Passarella.
Other recommended books by Gary Brandner: "The Howling" (The three books are much better than, and different from, the movies), "Carrion", "Floater", "Rot", "The Brain Eaters", and "Hellborn."
